Greetings, you now have another new member added to your site.

I feel quite gender dysphoric. I joined this site to see if I could relate to this community and resolve some questions (about transition and maybe discover some things about myself.)

I can't help but feel I've woken up in the wrong body. I'm biologically female but I know I'm male. I'm still quite closeted, not having told anyone and I know there's no chance of my parents understanding and helping me to transition early. Not only can I not drain their bank accounts any more, I just wouldn't be able to look them in the eyes.

I intend to hoard money as soon as I can get a job, and with any luck, I can leave in the next three years, locate a trans-friendly therapist, and be on my way to HRT and what follows. I would also like to go to college, but college and transition are both costly processes and I'll need to find a way about that.

I suppose that's it,
Silver

Hi Silver, welcome to Susans, I am sure you will get your questions answered here, I am like you in that I have told nobody about by gender problems except my wife and thankfully she is very understanding, I hope things go well for you, aloha.

Hi Silver,   :icon_wave:

Welcome to our little family. Over 1660 strong. That would be one heck of a family reunion. Feel free to post your successes/failures, Hopes/dreams.  Ask questions and seek answers.  Give and receive advice.

But remember we are family here, your family now.  And it is always nice to have another brother.   :icon_hug:

Hi Silver, welcome to Susans, it really sounds like you have done a lot of research and have your goals in mind. It appears to be a sound plan and well thought out. I'm sure the other F2M guys can help you further. Hugs
